Hah! No wonder indeed! I have so much respect for teachers. I can't imagine what all y'all go through.
I truly admire teachers!! You guys do a great job with what you have to work with; I always think teachers should be making the mega salaries and not pro ball players, because you guys are more of role models than they are. came over from 6-word Saturday; have a good rest of the weekend

Yes. Now i remember why, after "only" 9 years as a Special Educator I gave up the ghost.
Now I'm a service Coordinator with the local State-designated, non-profit Mental Health Agency, providing support service to Developmentally Disabled adults (most of my clients also have some simultaneous mental illness).
Most people I've ever had on my caseload: 11.
Same job, sorta, but I get paid and treated like an actual human being.
